DRACUT - Robert C. “Rob” Bir, age 72, a longtime resident of Dracut died Friday, August 26, 2022 at his home following a long illness.  He was the beloved husband of Lynne R. (Carson) Bir, to whom he has been married for 53 years.

Rob’s passion in life was his work.  Prior to his retirement he was employed for many years as a design engineer by Renaissance Electronics & Communications in Harvard.  Earlier in his career he was employed by Harmonics in N. Andover.  

 

When not working Rob could be found spending time in the company of his loving family or out on his boat on various local lakes and ponds fishing for bass and trout.

It being his wish, there will be no services and burial in St. Joseph Cemetery in Chelmsford will be private.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Rob’s memory to the High Pointe Hospice House at Tufts Medicine Care at Home, Attn: Community Engagement, 360 Merrimack St., Set 425, Lawrence, MA 01843 or at homehealthfoundation.org/donate/.
